Original posting

Stanford Research Computing Center | Systems Administrator, Linux | Palo Alto, CA | ONSITE | Full-Time (Fun Fact: The "city" is technically Stanford, a Census-designated place in unincorporated Santa Clara County. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford,_California) The Stanford Research Computing Center (SRCC) is part of Stanford University IT, while also reporting to the Dean of Research. We run traditional HPC environments, and also provide bespoke development & administration services. In this position you'll be helping run the Sherlock HPC cluster (https://www.sherlock.stanford.edu). The cluster—actually two merged sub-clusters—have 40,000+ CPU cores. If we did the benchmarking, we'd be in the Top500 list ("How do you actually get into Top500?" is a good question to ask us in an interview!). You can read more specs at https://www.sherlock.stanford.edu/docs/tech/ You'll be working in a RHEL-type environment (currently CentOS-based), deployed using xCAT; maintained by ClusterShell; authenticated using Kerberos (with LDAP for directory info); and featuring SLURM (plus MariaDB), Infiniband, and Lustre. Don't worry if you don't know anything about SLURM, Infiniband, Lustre, xCAT, or ClusterShell; we'll train you!
